Wow, my 15 minutes of fame has finally arrived!

That looks like a very nice book. I'll have to look for that.

Good luck getting someone to answer your emails...after 4 I gave up!

I would bet almost any amount of money that there will be plenty of copies in Florida for the Extravaganza.

A nice mention for Lisa, too bad they don't know about her other outstanding plants.

Nice.
I will try to get my hands on that over here.

Greeting to all
This is a very nice book, a must for all the collectors but be aware of the danger that the 'bromelaidism' disease will only get worse!!! Another box of plants got purchased this weekend as a direct consequence, some of Gerry Stansfield's hybrid neo's.

Which Stansfield Neo's did you get? I have a few Ryan's and I dont need a book to cause more desease here LOL

I got that book on Saturday. Confirmed that very nice book, good photos.

Gonser, could you please post the ISBN number?

Bromeliads - the Connoisseurs Guide

Here is a link that might be useful: info from google

How are folks in the States obtaining copies of Steens' "Connoisseur's Guide" ??? I see it on amazon UK but not US.

Thanks,
Mike

Lisa,

Unfortunately I cannot see the photographs on my compouter (why?), but I suppose those are of your beautiful plants. Congratulations.

Sander,
I hope you ordered from amazon.uk (£12.53) and not from amazon.de (EUR 41,54)!!!! That's two times more than the uk price

Tomas, I think you cannot see the pictures because this is an old thread, from back in September - the pics may not be linked to this thread any longer. I "bumped" this thread up b/c I was interested in the book mentioned in it.

Mike

I ordered it from my regular suplier over here, but since it has to come from New Zealand it is taking ages.

Can't wait.

Sander

I'd like to hear how people over here are getting it too. If I remember correctly you could order it from Steens' website, but the international shipping was a but much.

Here is Anwyl Bromeliads U.S. price list, it seems to be a postage-paid price (?) ...

I believe my copy was $35 U.S. and shipping was included. The shipping rate initially threw me but it was never added on.

Thanks Gonzer. Did you order from Exotica?

NO, I ordered straight from Andrew's nursery. It came regular book/media mail, about a week.

I went ahead and ordered the book from Anwyl this afternoon and already got a reply telling me that they shipped it out, cool. So yes, shipping is already included in the price. Thanks for the link!

(Which nursery is Andrew's nursery?)

Hi All, many apologies for the delays in getting this book to the USA, but now Random House New Zealand have decided to sell direct into the USA as Timber Press aren't running it this time.

Also, apologies for anyone that might have had trouble getting me over this last year. After the book came out we decided to shift house and turn the bromeliad business into internet sales only. As well we've set up another business which grows heritage spray free veges! I don't seem to be able to stop growing things.

The retail price is NZ$40.00 ( approx USD $27.60 )Shipping costs will be charged, once you advise the number of copies that you are interested in purchasing.

Please contact Graeme Morrison, Sales Development Manager

regards to all, Andrew

Thats a shame ...

It tooks my regular book suplier seven monts but I got it last week. The book is a must have, for any bromaniac. Well worth the wait.

Good job Andrew!

Trouble is, the broms in it are must haves too.....
